And on top of all that are some 7 million illegals Biden welcomed in.


Since the November 2020 presidential election, Americans have faced numerous headwinds as they recover from the economic effects of COVID-19, including rising inflation, rising interest rates and wages that aren’t rising fast enough to match. Now, 50 percent of U.S. adults say their overall financial situation is worse than it was three years ago (i.e. since the November 2020 general election), according to a new Bankrate survey.

Those economic challenges are likely to have a major impact on 2024 presidential election votes, as 89 percent of Americans say the issue of handling the economy will be very important or somewhat important when determining their vote in the 2024 presidential election.

Coincidentally, over the past three years, President Joe Biden’s impact on the economy has been hotly debated: Around 2 in 3 (67 percent) of Republicans and 59 percent of Independents say their overall personal financial situation has gotten worse since November 2020, while only 31 percent of Democrats say the same.

American financial attitudes are bleak. 50% of U.S. adults say their overall financial situation is worse than it was in November 2020. 26% say it’s about the same and 21% say it’s better

It's not better for 21% of Americans, no way. Maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of 21%, but not 21%.

The link title is wrong. Biden was never elected. He was installed.
 
Over a trillion in credit card debt. If it works for the Government it should be ok for the people too, only don;t look for "forgiveness" for this debt. That would mean raising taxes on you to pay off your debt to you.
 
So 21% are lying
Be charitable. They're too stupid to know.
And the ones who say it isn’t worse are just too stupid to realize it is.

Or their salaries have increased more than inflation and they are driving less due to working from home thus the rise in the price of gas has not had much impact, and it has been the main driver of inflation.

Couple this with moving into a new, smaller home so even though the energy rates might have gone up, they are still paying less than they were in 2020.

That may be the case, but what caused this to happen? Could it be that trump's let-alone economic policy is the cause? The Clinton recession erupted 4 months after his term was completed.
The Bush recession exploded on the scene after 8 years of his presidency, all due to his economic policies. Do we blame Biden and Obama for the policies that preceded these recessions?
What Biden has accomplished has resulted in a soft landing. Unfortunately, higher prices are a result of the past, and not the present.

It is odd how none of these people think all the money given away by the Govt in 2020 had anything to do with the inflation that followed it
 
That is really bad considering that when Potatohead stole the election we still were not in much of a post Pandemic recovery. It was just getting started.

Thats the type of talk why more and more people do not help other people who need it in dangerous situations. Progs like yourself crap on those who played by the rules and then call them every name in the book when the new rules screwed them over and they have the audacity to complain. When some people complain about government it is the interference that destroys or make citizens poorer. The last housing collapse due to giving out mortgages to people who never paid any loans out well in their lives and using junk bonds destroyed millions and millions of homeowners who played y the then rules. You see someone writhing on the ground, and it is an authoritarian or Prog, let it die.

Nope, not everyone. But it seems that 21% of us have something similar going on.

Just showing that saying you are better off now than in 2020 does not mean you are lying.
